Description

2,6-Dtbp (2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol) is a high-purity phenolic antioxidant widely recognized for its effectiveness in stabilizing organic materials against oxidative degradation. This compound is critical for extending the service life and maintaining the performance integrity of polymers, fuels, and lubricants under demanding conditions. It is an essential raw material for formulators and manufacturers in the plastics, rubber, petrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable oxidation inhibition.

Application

• Polymer Stabilizer: Primary antioxidant for polyolefins (PP, PE), elastomers, and adhesives to prevent thermal and oxidative degradation during processing and end-use.
• Fuel & Lubricant Additive: Antioxidant component in gasoline, diesel, jet fuels, and industrial lubricants to inhibit gum formation and acid generation, enhancing stability.
• Intermediate for Synthesis: Key precursor in the manufacture of more complex hindered phenol antioxidants and other specialty chemicals.
• Rubber Industry: Protects synthetic rubbers like SBR and NBR from aging, preserving elasticity and mechanical properties.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used as an antioxidant in formulations to stabilize oils and prevent rancidity in certain applications.
• Research & Development: Standard reagent in chemical research for studying antioxidant mechanisms and developing new stabilization systems.

Quality Control

Our 2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity, and impurity profile determination, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). As the material is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to maintain maximum efficacy. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
